Loved this one Jeff. I can take it in different ways. It' s like an abstract picture. I have to guess. Maybe tonight you face life with somebody else?..This is really intelligent.

Thanks yann... I submitted a poem the other day titled "i try to try (for yann rolland)". I hope I didn't offend you in any way yann. It was supposed to be more of a homage. Hugs

you've beautifully desribed a wonderous scene. I like 'tonight the earth slips between you and me.' A great line filled with a hint of loneliness. Enjoyed it...have a wonderful Saturday, Sara
